Input Signals
For UART protocol, the number of input signals is demonstratedTable 6.12-1 Each input signal is
handled by an input processor for signal conditioning, such as signal inverse selection control, or
a digital input filter. The input signals can be classified according to their meaning for the
protocols, as shown in Table 6.12-1.

Output Signals
For UART protocol, up to each protocol-related output signals are available. The number of
actually used outputs depends on the selected protocol. They can be classified according to their
meaning for the protocols.

6.12.5.3 Frame Format
A standard UART frame is shown in Figure 6.12-3. It consists of:
An idle time with the signal level 1.
One start of frame bit (SOF) with the signal level 0.
6~13 bit data
A parity bit (P), programmable for either even or odd parity. It is optionally possible to handle
frames without parity bit.
One or two stop bits with the signal level 1.
